Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Aceville Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["davina.ns.cloudflare.com", "sonny.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-08 Page title: PUBG MOBILE EVENT ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 66ecf0d0d2350d82fd9bd065dbe1b6ea7bb7421794987d1da109f3f029cbb11c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - specialfors.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-08 11:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 00:20:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 06:08:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:01:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies midasclaim.specialfors.com as an elevated risk domain due to its brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the popular game PUBG, which could lead to severe consequences for unsuspecting users. This domain was flagged by 21 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a high level of malicious activity, and is registered through Aceville Pte. Ltd., with an IP address of 104.21.85.93, created on May 08, 2026, and appears on 1 security blocklist, while its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, which may give a false sense of security to users. To mitigate the brand impersonation threat posed by midasclaim.specialfors.com, users should be cautious when interacting with websites that claim to be affiliated with PUBG, and verify the authenticity of the website by checking the URL and looking for any spelling or grammatical errors, as well as being wary of suspicious links or downloads, and keeping their devices and software up to date with the latest security patches, and using reputable antivirus software to detect and prevent malware, ultimately protecting themselves from potential harm by staying informed and vigilant online, using unique seed 0e385a for awareness ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 66ecf0d0d2350d82fd9bd065dbe1b6ea7bb7421794987d1da109f3f029cbb11c ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/midasclaim.specialfors.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=midasclaim.specialfors.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
